You might be able to get it working, but you'll end up with tons of binary blobs hardcoded for each frequency, unless you use a programming guide. Unfortunately, I don't have one that I can share :-/ I think you would be much better off purchasing supported hardware, instead. Good luck, though... -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
